Course Fees:

This is a concurrent enrollment course with WSU. Students are not required to register with WSU, but are still accountable for all class fees.

NHS Fee: $20 ($10 per semester)

Equipment Fee: $15

WSU Application Fee: $30 (Onetime fee. Not applicable if you have applied before)

WSU Registration: $5 per credit (ex: 3 credits @ $5 per credit = $15)

**Based on the concurrent enrollment status of the class. None of the fees are waverable. Students eligible for a fee waiver are still are required to pay the course fees. Please see Mr. Harris with questions as needed.

WSU Course Description:

An introductory course to explore engineering and technical design solutions using critical thinking in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Learning modules include; The Engineering Design Process & Professions, Sketching & Documentation, Design Measuring, CAD & Geometric Constraints, Design Visualization, Orthographic Projection & Multi-View Drawings, Fasteners, Assembly Drawings, Dimensioning, Tolerancing and Final Team Design Projects.

Students will demonstrate ABET Program Outcomes in the following categories:

a.  An appropriate mastery of the knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of their disciplines by learning and using CAD software to document the design of a caster wheel assembly.

  1. Recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in lifelong learning by identifying in a written report on career path of their choice found within the Engineering and Engineering Technology community the education and skills required as well as the credential options available to that career path and the continuing education requirements necessary to maintain that credential.
  1. An ability to understand professional, ethical and social responsibilities by researching and reporting in a written report on career path of their choice found within the Engineering and Engineering Technology community.
  2. A respect for diversity and knowledge of contemporary professional, societal and global issues by researching and reporting in a written report on career path of their choice found within the Engineering and Engineering Technology community.

Course Learning Objectives:

Upon successful completion students will be able to……

1.  Understand the role of design in society, related professions and the engineering design process

2.  Document the design process using the engineering notebook to solve technological problems

3.  Understand and apply mathematics, measuring conventions and scales using scale factors

4.  Create a 3D model from a 2D sketch

5.  Develop the ability to visualize and manipulate a design solution in 2D & 3D

6.  Create orthographic projections of given objects and develop multi view drawings that include all necessary views

7.  Define and identify threaded fasteners

8.  Document an assembly of multiple parts

9.  Fully describe the size, shape, location and manufacturing required to produce a part

10.  Fully define the allowable variation of geometric size, shape, location and manufacturing required to produce a part

11.  Follow the engineering design process in a team environment to document a design solution

Course Administration:

Lectures will concern the body of knowledge surrounding engineering and technical design. Demonstrations will cover specific operations and techniques. Students are expected to be at all class sessions (see Excused Absences policy below). If a student has to miss a lecture or a demonstration, permission for an excused absence must be granted by the professor before class. It is the responsibility of the students to secure all materials and information presented in class, even with an excused absence. Lectures will not be repeated. Lectures may be taped recorded with the professor's permission.

Attendance Policy:

·  Attending all classes is extremely important. If you must miss class, it is your responsibility to obtain notes and assignments from your colleagues. In accordance with policy from Weber State University and Project Lead the Way guidelines, students who miss more than 3 class periods per term, with or without instructor notification, will receive a department and credit drop.

·  DET students are considered Design Engineering Technology professionals and are responsible for directing their own education. As such, the decision to attend class is at each student's personal discretion.

·  Absences CAN effect student grades if they do not understand the material or are not aware of changes to the class that can include (but are not limited to) the scheduling of quizzes, exams, assignments, projects, and extra credit. The instructor has the right to alter the course at his own discretion, so students missing class may not be aware of important information.

·  Students are responsible for the body of information in the lectures, labs, and assigned reading materials. Students who do not attend class will not be given makeup lecture sessions or notes by the instructor. Similarly, makeup tests and quizzes will also not be given. If a student misses a class, it is up to them to make sure they acquire the relevant material from another source. Do NOT send the instructor an e-mail asking to explain the contents of a missed lecture or lab.

·  Students are expected to attend class for mandatory events such as tests and quizzes, and it is up to the individual student to know when those events are. Ignorance of these events is not an excuse, and any student who wants current information is expected to attend class.

Outside Work:

Outside work will be absolutely necessary. Students will NOT be able to do well in this course if they work only in regularly scheduled class sessions.

Course Projects:

Students will be expected to successfully complete multiple projects throughout the course of the semester. Projects will be graded on professionalism, execution, creativity, technical merit, and communicative value.

Exams:

Exams will cover material from the lecture, demonstrations, and laboratory portions of the course and be administered during the regularly scheduled lecture period. The module assessments will be a comprehensive assessment of both theoretical (book) and application (Inventor) at the end of each module. The final comprehensive assessment will be a collection of questions taken from each of the module assessments and be given at the appropriately scheduled time.

Grading Policy:

Grades will be given using the following total earned scores.

94-100% = / A / 74-76% = / C
90-93% = / A- / 70-73% = / C
87-89% = / B+ / 67-69% = / D+
84-86% = / B / 64-66% = / D
80-83% = / B- / 60-63% = / D
77-79% = / C+ / 59-0% = / F
